Colour: Pale yellow
A peaty nose but still remarkably fresh. A mix of peat, smoke, Vickx pellet and nice fruity notes appear as a watermark. This complex and extremely pleasant nose is simply superb.
The mouth is the same ilk. Freshness seems to have disappeared in favor of beautiful peaty notes, and then a slow evolution on cocoa or chocolate milk. A subtle development on pleasant bitter touches and a climax in peaty tones.
Cocoa from the end of the mouth dominates here. Very nice finish with finesse and balance. Long and warm, with hints of mint and a sense of eucalyptus drug appearing in a kind of late overlay.
Extraordinary whisky close to perfection. Peat has not always my favor, but here it produces a remarkable effect. A truly outstanding whiskey.
